Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India

Quote of the day by Suzanne Roy “India has no option but to colonise itself.”

RajeshA · Post by **RajeshA** » 24 May 2014 11:42

I am not sure, but NaMo could have invited all the SAARC leaders to cause more than a bit of curiosity in the Western capitals, so that their media covers NaMo's swearing-in ceremony.

For a long time Western media tried to ignore NaMo phenomenon, and when they talked about it only to humiliate him.

He wants to make the world see Indian democracy in action. He wants to use his swearing-in ceremony to announce to the world that India has arrived, and is open for business.

The more NaMo can present India as a bastion of democracy and a power to be respected, the less are the chances that certain interests in the West and Gulf can project India and NaMo as some monster, when NaMo is forced to knock a few heads in the neighborhood.

There may not going to be any meeting one to one with Nawaz and Nawaz is dreaming about it he is going to get it. No meeting of Hori--yath leaders may also be there for him. He probabilly go back with little to show and emerge as a weak leader failed to get any meeting date with Indian leadership. Inviting and puting down Nawaz may be part of a larger plan.

This is just the new leadership's method of getting Pakistan out of the way.

They have more important things to focus on.

As for Arundhati Roy, perhaps she should make a vigorous attempt at colonising herself. She is no longer even a useful idiot.

4 to 5 people are coming with Mawaz delegation. Only question is whether there will be any one to one meeting with Nawaz. I think there may not be anything of that sort. If there is a meeting NM will be wasting his time on Pakiland just like MMS and core BJP supporters may be seriously disapointed.

^There is no better way to size up someone than in person. Modi might want to see this joker in person, to figure how much of an idiot he really is. If he could have invited the general, he would have done so. Unfortunately, there is no scope for that at this time.

Yagnasri · Post by **Yagnasri** » 24 May 2014 12:11

But if NM going to travel to Lohore like Atal did. He is going to make a fool out of himself. I am sure he will not be. But giving pakiland some time in his mind is waste of time. Allow RAW people to dismantle pakiland once more. Beluchisthan is ripe to become Independent and may provide few navel basis to India and way to Afghanisthan.

I think this invitation is just a low-risk, moderate gain move on Modi's part.

We don't really have any information that suggests that Modi has any fundamentally different Pakistan policy than the currently prevailing one, though he may be more firm and robust in execution.

Expect english media to make a spectacle out of it, yet again nauseating sight of Indian Reporters bowing to Terrorist-in-chief. Disappointing to put it mildly. Add to that quips by that wife-murderer.
Mr. Modi could have avoided this Circus.

NaMo is trying to break out of the international isolation now that he has tamed the domestic one that had been imposed upon him hence all this tamasha around his swearing in..

Top South Block officials said Karzai's office first sought to speak to Singh, via the ministry of external affairs, in the morning but the call had to be rescheduled for 6pm as the caretaker PM was indisposed. Instead, at around noon, the prime minister's office released a statement condemning the attack on Singh's behalf. Officials in the MEA were instructed to prepare talking points for Singh's scheduled conversation with Karzai in the evening.

Should I feel angry, frustrated about this or happy to see this guy going?

Is it the guilt of not getting breakthrough in Mumbai fillum industry which she tried so badly...I doubt.

WoW! The media is really pathetic. And the so-called experts that they call on for views are as good as the media. This whole circus about Bakis is nauseating. Arrey yaar, Bakis were called as part of SAARC like everyone else. Why is the media making it out as if this is all about Bakis? And this is a swearing in ceremony, right!

And some so-called expert was suggesting that Badhmash was coming despite the opposition and therefore Modi must gift him something to strengthen him. WOW! And he is supposed to be an expert.

The whole thing is so disgusting. The media and bakis have completely overshadowed the real event with the side event(infact, it is not even an event). I don't think Modi would like this.

NaMo going for dynasty jugular

Government starts looking at flight details of some VIPs

New Delhi– Counting over, accounting and auditing has commenced across offices and ministries as Prime Minister- designate Narendra Modi prepares to take office on Monday.

Sources are telling The News Minute (TNM) that Air Traffic Control at Palam airport in New Delhi is compiling and collating data about take offs and landings at the airport between January and May 2014. Included in this data collection are the names of at least six people who enjoy special protection and who have flown in and out of the country frequently over the past few months and weeks. The Civil Aviation Ministry is tight-lipped about this.

A similar exercise is underway at the Union Ministry of Culture. Sources tell TNM funds to the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation since the mid 1990’s as well as to three other trusts are expected to undergo an audit and accounting over the next few weeks and months.

While some have been quick to point out that information that is now been gathered may be used against the parties and persons in concern during parliamentary debates or investigations, others say it is routine work and attaching needless importance to it serves no purpose.

Narendra Modi has also activated foreign policy and national security conversations in the capital. The effects of the new regime are sharply evident across sectors as the “outsider” Prime Minister sets in place could be a roller coaster ride for Delhi’s usual suspects.

Manmohan's legacy for Modi: A specially-designed fleet of BMW series
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/indi ... 530143.cms

One legacy Narendra Modi is likely to inherit from his predecessor Manmohan Singh is his cavalcade, including the specially designed armored BMW 7 series — the most secured vehicle in the country.

The vehicle, which is able to secure the occupants from landmine blasts to Kalashnikov's bullets, is likely to be Modi's official vehicle if he does not decide otherwise. This saloon can run for kilometers even on flat tyres and are fitted with advance heat sensors to ward off missiles and bombs as well, say sources.

While the fuel tanks are made such that they don't explode during an attack, its cabin also turns into a gas-proof chamber and ensures oxygen supply to secure the occupant in cases of gas attacks, a source familiar with the vehicle said.

Modi, who in most likelihood will arrive at the swearing-in ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhawan in his Scorpio, will come under the SPG cover immediately after taking the oath and hence be travelling in this BMW along with commandos form the elite unit SPG, some of whom have specially been deputed from Gujarat police, sources in the security establishment said. The lead SPG agent which sits in front passenger seat of the prime minster's car is speculated to be from the Gujarat unit, a source said.

Will get the real Bharatiyata from NaMo acceptance in his PM speech rather than fake ones .

/ may be to ward off investigations in their many misadventures in corruption/

Not congratulating NaMo was really gross in their speech accepting defeat. Backroom dealings to prevent investigations have brought no assurance from NaMo.

want to see all their handlers/powerbrokers and themselves embroiled in courts cases and ultimately tihar jail.

Yes, Am loving it.

For those who do not understand why Narendra Modi invited Sharif - A quote from Godfather -

'keep your friends close but your enemies closer'

Keep asking that question. Modi deserves nothing less, nothing more. His actions should be what defines him, not the actors not the rhetoric.

*metaphoric you, not jimmyray as such

I dont approve this action whether it was done by MMS or Modi. For me this action shows Modi has already gone on the negative side of the balance sheet. If this was what was expected of Modi, I would have preferred MMS to do this, atleast there would have been vocal opposition to the action putting limits on MMS. I am sorry, I have to see how Modi digs himself out of this hole which he dug for himself.

This action disgraces the great Chanakya. Dont attribute Chanakianness to nobelitis. Let us not downgrade our standards of political views for hero worship. Let us keep checking whether Modi's campaign rhetoric matches his actions post win and it is only his actions which matter. He could have chosen BIMSTEC instead of saarc.

Yagnasri · Post by **Yagnasri** » 24 May 2014 17:51

There will be nearly 3000 people. No one is going to get any quality time with PM. It is more likely just a big event wherein lot of VIPs will be there and most of them will not be in a position to meet the host as there are too many of them. But since the host is a too powerful person not attending is not possible. Just go their and see the event and come back after eating Doklas (if these people are fed in the first place) Please like Nawaz may not get media event they hope to get and go back as empty handed. But people like Rajini or Lata Didi (who supported NM from very start) may get some time with him. We have to see. Media will have huge rubbish programmes on this for week are so.

If anyone is imagining another Agra Summit like rubbish, it most likely not going to be there.

Yup, those 3k folks are opinion leaders, opinion shapers - high centrality metrics in the socio-political network of India. They're those critical nodes that ought to be targeted first. Will help bind them into either neutrality or support for the new govt at the outset (or such is the hope).

The ones who turn hostile or continue their hostility post attending the function can be marked as hostiles and kept out the loop in the days to come.

jimmyray · Post by **jimmyray** » 24 May 2014 18:00

would you* have approved this if this was done by MMS?

I will surely compare NaMo with MMS after his 5 year term as PM gets over. I don't judge an individual by a single action but by what he has been doing and has done over years. (To understand a story you don't interpret individual sentences but rather read the whole story). If MMS had a Nationalistic and Dharmic streak (as would have been determined by all his previous actions) and then would have invited Sharif then I would have thought that he is doing it for good of my country and I would have approved it. Unfortunately in my opinion MMS never showed by his actions that he was serving our country but rather he served only 'the family' and other interests.

This action disgraces the great Chanakya. Dont attribute Chanakianness to nobelitis. Let us not downgrade our standards of political views for hero worship. Let us keep checking whether Modi's campaign rhetoric matches his actions post win and it is only his actions which matter. He could have chosen BIMSTEC instead of saarc.

Not disgracing the great Chanakya -here is what the great Chanakya himself said

Till the enemy’s weakness is known , he should be kept on friendly terms.

What's wrong with Salman Khan? He has the guts to do Ganesh Pooja in his house in spite of mullah opposition. That enough is plus points. I think he's a closet Hindu stuck in a Muslim identity/name.
BTW, he's invited Amitabh Bachchan, Rajnikanth also.
